Welcome to Fall

I would like to introduce myself as the new President of the Board of Directors and the Ausblick Ski and Snowsports Club. My husband Ed and I joined the club in 2010. Our two boys race on the Ausblick Ski Team and I am a member of our Ski Patrol, just completing four years as the Patrol Director.

Thank you to Bob Turowski who has served as President of the Club for the past 12 years. Under his leadership, Ausblick has completed a critical phase of the long-range planning for the club: upgrading and expanding our snow making capabilities and outdoor lighting infrastructure. Also, a sincere thank you to retired Board members Bob Kuelthau, Jim Stein, Mike Guetzke and Mike Wichert. Their collective 72 years of volunteer and leadership service in varying capacities to the club is tremendously appreciated by all of us. Thank you.

•  Welcome new Board members: Jeff Minor and Phil Laning joined the Board this Fall being elected during the Annual Member meeting in September. Dave Frank and Mike Senkbeil joined earlier filling vacated seats. Please follow this link to view all the current members of our Board of Directors - Ausblick Ski Hill . Thank you to all Board members for your volunteer service to our organization.

• New email address: To improve communication with the Board of Directors we have established a new president@ausblick.org email address.

• Member survey: We will be sending out a membership survey in early December to help us gather feedback for our planning. We continue to move forward on our long-range plan that calls for a redesign of the hill’s summit and a new lift, but I want to balance long range focus with meeting the needs of members today. Thank you in advance for participating in the survey.



•  SNOWMAKING:  With the installation of the fourth and final pump, we hope to aggressively test our potential for making snow earlier in the season. We will be doing so while being at the mercy of Mother Nature, pond capacity/refill time and watching our costs and budget. I am extremely excited to see the potential our investment in our snowmaking infrastructure will bring to the hill. With the upcoming cold temperatures, look for the snow flying over Ausblick.

Please follow us on Facebook [Ausblick Ski Club] and Instagram [ausblick_ski_club] as well are our website for updates on snowmaking/open dates, Snowsports School programs and club events.

I look forward to meeting those of you I do not yet know.
